Yesterday I ran out for a mani/pedi right before the salon closed. My nails were still black from StazOn ink after a solid week of Stampscapes stamping....and after two weekends of basement work the nails and cuticles were a mess, not just black. And needed a pedi to get ready for sandal season because it is actually warming up. So I got "Sand Tropez" color. Nail tech must think I'm very boring and neutral.

So it's a go on the Pampered Chef fundraiser. I'm also going to be doing an Origami Owl fundraiser. Let me see how quickly I can get that up and running and also I'll get the link for the PC party here in a sec

After we got back from Bisbee, we fetched the RV so we could put the kitchen counter back in. Now just waiting for the sink to arrive. Kitchen counters, tap and new sink less than $200. Checked out our fabric samples, too. We've now picked one out. Hobby Lobby opened here in March and we got ideas from there. Very similar to one we found in Hancock Fabrics at less than half of the price. Grin.

It sounds pretty neat. I even looked at it on Google Maps. Street View! Small town, lots of hills.

It's over a mile high, very steep hills to walk up. If you follow 80 south look left of it and you see the huge hole in the ground from current copper mining. Opencast. Used to be below surface which was how the town came to be. I think there is a modern part of the town south of the mine but we didn't go down there. We were less than 10 miles from Mexico! And north of Tombstone we did have to go through a border patrol checkpoint. Looked in the car, saw 4 caucasians and sent us on our way. They don't racially profile of course.

YDS wanted to go out to dinner, to one of the local places that we like. I didn't feel like going out, so YDS and DH went by themselves. (ODS had symphonic band practice so he was still at school.)

DH knows I really like the baby back ribs there, and even though he likes them too he doesn't often order them. They offer a half rack, and for just $4 more you can order a whole rack.

DH ordered a whole rack and brought half of it home for me. When I saw the container I thought he was planning to take them for his lunch tomorrow, but he insisted that I go ahead and have them. And since I hadn't eaten any supper yet, he didn't have to twist my arm.

They were sooooo yummilicious.

Oh that was sweet of him!

I hope you're feeling better this morning.

Woke up at 4:30am to catch flight yesterday. In to work after landing, got home by 6pm, walked and fed pups, fell asleep on couch. Cat woke me up by nuzzling my nose until I woke up. Walked dogs, fed everyone, back in to work... whee.

My plan for this coming weekend is to vegetate like a rotting head of broccoli.

Oh well I can tell you. This was when we still lived in FL. I noticed a bit of disgusting smell over by my sink. Nothing obvious after looking, so I ran the disposal, used some baking soda, cleaned the sink, etc. Smell seemed gone. Nope, it returned after the cleaning smell was gone. I cleaned other things as the next 3-4 days went by, and that darn smell was just getting worse. Then - I found it - a TINY bit of broccoli in the silverware bucket hanging on the dish drainer!!!! OMG!!! Who knew a tiny bit of food that small could smell SO BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's cute V, but not for me, and I don't really have anyone to buy it for at the moment. But you'll get me with the PC stuff. I'm sure some people you know will get this, you just need people the right age to buy, or buy for.
